[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here; haven't read other replies, but wanted to say, that [b]a few years ago I went with my SIL to a class to keep her license current.  [/b]One thing I learned is that fat cells have a memory of about 3 months.  So they will lose weight, then hang on to weight--I think they start hanging on at 10% loss.  They hang on for the three months, then they "reset" and the current weight becomes the base weight and they lose again.

I might not be explaining it very well, but bottom line is, this is why people plateau, and if you expect and tolerate the plateaus, then you can keep going with the weight loss.   The trick is to wait them out!  If the caloric consumption, the excersise level, and sleep levels are right, it will be just a matter of time.[/quote]

Is this what they told you at the DMV?  [/quote]

Yeah, that made no sense without saying what kind of class and license. [/quote]

Sorry, PP here.  Dietician's license.  Medical professionals have to take courses to keep their license current; this one was not only for dietitians but other medical fields as well.  It was about the different diets that were in vogue (so as to understand where some of their patients were coming from), their effectiveness (or non-effectiveness).  The course was at core, how the body metabolizes food and deals with excess calories so as to understand why different food plans work or don't.  It was pretty scientific course with a medical feel.  I don't have a medical background; I was just accompanying her because I was in town.  So I recognize I may not be explaining it well.  But I will tell you that little nugget of information has helped me tremendously.[/quote]
